Abstract

ABSTRACTCommunity college students may become more vulnerable to food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic, which may eventually impact their health, shape their interpretations of food insecurity and injustice within their lives, and cause them to reevaluate the support that they need from their community college. This study analyzes the food security experiences of 1,278 students during the semester before and first year of the pandemic using survey measures and narrative methodology. While students’ reported levels of food insecurity did not increase after the start of the pandemic, students reported feeling less embarrassment about and greater likelihood of using food support programs. After the pandemic began, students reflected on their food security experiences in different ways. They became more likely to focus on the wellbeing of fellow students, advocate for campus food support programs, and highlight financial and nutritional problems that relate to food insecurity. They also became less likely to judge their community college for possible failures in supporting food insecure students. These changes suggested that the pandemic impacted students’ understanding of food insecurity and related support programs and perhaps made students be less judgmental and more open-minded about how their college institution can support food insecure students. These findings offer implications for why and how community colleges should support food insecure students.

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, food insecurity increased across the United States, with college students being particularly vulnerable. This study surveyed 1989 undergraduates attending three public colleges before and during the first year of the pandemic. At all times, students' food insecurity was related to worse academic performance, greater housing insecurity, poorer psychological and physical health, and less access to healthcare. Compared to pre-pandemic students, during-pandemic students reported greater use of and fewer barriers to food programs, spending more on and and receiving more government aid for food, experiencing more academic difficulties due to food insecurity, having greater housing insecurity, and enduring less access to healthcare.

Abstract

As many as two-thirds of American community college students may experience food insecurity. Their struggles are linked to health and academic difficulties and relate to several socioeconomic factors, including stigma regarding food programs. To support students' understanding of and activism regarding food insecurity, student leaders co-created the Playing with Our Food intervention, which reviewed research and played games with students about stigmatized food-related topics. A survey utilizing writing prompts revealed that attendees learned new information, were more likely to use campus programs, and became interested in activism. Other campuses may stage similar interventions to develop students' awareness of food insecurity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
